Notes

Gluten-Free Flour Options:

I had great success with gfJules all-purpose flour (linked below). Cup4Cup also worked pretty well, and I think Namaste would be a nice whole grain option. If you use Namaste, I recommend reducing the flour by about 2 tablespoons.

For Dairy Free:

Use dairy-free butter and sour cream.

Tips:

Always stir, scoop, and level your flour when measuring.
Use full-fat sour cream.
Storage
Wrap in plastic wrap and store at room temp for a day or two, or in the fridge or freezer for longer.
